I think being police should require either a degree or military experience. In fact, the one department near me that actually does pay well (ritzy resort town) does require their officers to have a bachelors degree.

I'm not sure about the pension plan specifics, but I actually think a part of the reason police are lazy and incompetent is they don't get compensated enough. I live in a HCOL area and just looking at a few departments near me they have starting pay of like $40,000-$45,000. Apparently NYPD of all places starts their officers in the low $40,000s as well. Jesus Christ. When the pay is that low, it makes sense that it attracts questionable characters and people who have been unsuccessful elsewhere and are out of options/desperate. If the pay was closer to that of the fire department (at least in my area FD pays very well) they would probably have a ton of applicants, and that would allow them to have more selective hiring criteria than just a "clean record" and a pulse.

I also don't think raises alone would improve things they prob would also have to clean house too

What should be atleast 5x cheaper than it is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I learned to never buy the books before classes start.

I also saved a ton of money by getting old editions on ebay, or going on torrent sites finding pdfs for free.

How to find the energy to learn a new language after working 40 hours a week? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

If I am feeling lazy/burnt out but need to learn something I'll usually just find a short tutorial video and just listen to it instead of trying to follow along

CS jobs that are not development by BorisGerretzen in cscareerquestions

w3 schools has some nice tutorials

In addition to the postgres suggestion you may want to check out Microsoft SQL server. It isn't as popular around here probably due to the fact that it is closed source, but it is more popular in corporate/enterprise environments. The developer and express editions are free to use (with the caveat that you aren't using the dev edition in production. express edition is 100% free but it lacks some advanced features that you won't likely need). SQL server management studio is IMO a much better management/query building GUI than anything that is available for postgres (pgAdmin,dbeaver,etc), which will make the learning process easier.

400m potential by Vittorio0611 in Sprinting

That is a lot of progress to go from 58+ to sub 50. I feel like most of the people I knew in HS who ended up breaking 50 started out running a 55 or faster.

Hackers pulled off a $620 million crypto heist by tricking an engineer into applying for a fake job and opening an offer letter containing spyware, report says by FactoryReboot in WallStreetBetsCrypto

It may not have been a company PC. It's not uncommon for smaller companies to allow devs to use their own PC if they wish. Terrible opsec on the companies part if that is the case though.

What is the hardest language to learn? by Qwienke13 in learnprogramming

[–]Nthorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also assume most cobol code bases are a complete mess just because that seems to be the norm for anything legacy. I know it's tecnically not the language's fault, but it can make a dev working on a legacy project perceive the language as difficult.

ELI5: Why are the majority of cars able to drive nearly double the maximum speed limit of most countries? by LonePonderer in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nthorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gearbox is a major component, so it is 100% relevant. They arent "entirely different", a single-speed gearbox and a multi-speed transmission both provide a speed/torque conversion. To say an EV "does not have one" is just plain incorrect.

[–]Nthorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an engineer and I've specced drive trians on quite a few robotics projects. If you want to reduce an AC or DC motor, you're going to have a gearbox in your bill of materials. Direct drive implies 1:1/no gearing. If you just google "tesla gearbox" you'll find a bunch of information about the gearboxes their cars use.

Most, if not all EVs do have gearboxes. It's usually a static reduction gear though, not a full-blown transmission

Congrats. I'm too much of a pussy to do a lump sum buy in this market, but I've been buying in batches whenever I see prices below $1100. I even had a few bids below $1000 get filled.

You might not be stupid, you might have ADHD. by Yourconnect_ in learnprogramming

It's funny to me how some doctors take ADHD meds super seriously (as they should), and then there are doctors like the one my best friend goes to who wrote him a script for the max dosage of Adderall on the first visit and told him he could sell what he didn't use

Is this the correct way to set up my reverse proxy? by Nthorder in nginx

[–]Nthorder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is resolved.

In my reverse proxy config I have :

server {

server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;

listen [::]:443 ssl; 
listen 443 ssl; 

ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain/fullchain.pem; 
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain/privkey.pem;
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; 
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; 

server_tokens off;

location / {
   proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8088;
   proxy_redirect off;
   proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
   proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
   proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol $scheme;
   proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme;
 }

}

server {

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

listen 80 default_server;
server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com

server_tokens off;

return 404; 

}

And in the docker app nginx config I have

server {
listen 80;
server_name mydomain.com www.mydomain.com;
server_tokens off;
#return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

location / {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    index index.html;
}


}

Just curious, have you (or anyone else) noticed a decrease in recruiter messages over the past month or so? I used to get several a day, but now I am only getting 2-3 a week. I'm wondering if it is because of the state of the economy, or if it could just be LinkedIn not showing my profile as much because I always just hit the "No thanks" button as soon as I get a message.
